Dredge
- Working one at a time, dredge each chicken finger into egg and then into the seasoned breadcrumbs, pressing the chicken into the coating to help it stick well and evenly.Place on the third plate. Once you have enough to fill your pan, heat up cooking oil until hot..
Fry and Serve
- Carefully add the breaded schnitzel, leaving space in between to not crowd the pan(this lowers the oil temp.) Fry until golden, flip, and fry the second side.
- Use tongs to tranfer the schnitzel to paper towels or into a brown paper bag to cool. Serve with your favorite dipping sauce- BBQ sauce, sweet chili, korean hot sauce, ketchup for the kids, or no sauce at all. THEY THAT GOOD, enjoy!
